Who remembers the Leg Warmers from the 80's......LOL. Did you have any ? How many ? What colours ? What did you wear them with ? I saw these on an old show I saw as I was flicking through the channels....It made me laugh...They are so daggy yet they were so trendy.

Isnt it great remembering things from the past? I used to wear leg warmers, i had a few. Black, cream, white, i think i had a striped pair, and probably others. I used to wear them over my jeans. And yes, looking back, they were daggy! But, one of my daughters has been asking for them! She wants them so she can keep warm. She is the kind of person who doesnt care what others think, and does things for herself. Best wishes, calais

Thanks for the BR, calais. Much appreciated. Just thought Id let you know, gave into my daughter and got her some leg warmers. She loves them. Wears them under her pants though, they keep her warm

It's the 80s fashion? I didn't know that. Yes I have some at home and they are all bought this year. I love them because they look really tready. I have one pair which is black with golden glitters and I love them so much. I wear them when I wear shorter skirt and I think that looks really nice and I don't like to expose too much of my body anyway, so it's perfect!

Yes I saw them last year and this year too! I guess because the 80s fashion is making a come back and therefore you can see some in the stores.

I remember wearing them. I must have looked very silly in them, though I guess I didn't think so then. Gee, we get some silly ideas when young. We are so influenced by fashion. A current fashion I have observed amongst swimmers in my daughters club, is for the older girls, to wear their trackies half way down their bottom. It lokks so stupid & doesn't look cool at all.

Oh yes we thought we looked pretty Cool....lol. I know what you mean about the trackies, it looks cheap I think, its not very attractive for young girls to walk around like that.

I had a few pair. I don't remember the colors. I think one set was rainbow striped. Though seriously, if I could find some today I would buy them because my legs get so cold in the winter! That's one fad from the 80s that I won't mind the return of!
